“Imagine you stay up until 4:00 a.m. writing a sketch, and then the host is like: ‘I f–king hate this,’ you’re gonna have some [reaction],” he explained. “Your nerves are frayed.
“You’re gonna have some weird, bizarre, emotional response,” Yang continued, adding that he wasn’t “the one who cried.”
Last month, the Emmy nominee similarly said the unidentified star “hated the ideas” presented to him.

On Wednesday, Spade noted, “Everyone gets in trouble for saying something, but that’s what everyone asks, and you can only dodge it for so long! You just try to explain why they weren’t great.”
The “Rules of Engagement” alum had also “heard Paris Hilton was not great” — along with “so many other people.”
Carvey, 69, chimed in, “Some people deal with stress by lashing out and being kind of overly angry. It’s all just anxiety and fear.”
